No Exit is a gratifying thriller with a stellar lead performance by Liu. It is a concise and impactful piece of work, even when it stumbles in the third act. It is well worth a watch, especially for fans of the single-location thriller subgenre.
While competently performed — Liu in particular is exceptional, lending a fraught likability to Darby; Haysbert exudes a natural warmth; and Dickey gives a good frayed performance despite a disappointing characterization — and decently directed, it feels like there's something missing from No Exit.

Report
The filmmaking itself is sound. Liu is spellbinding, and her supporting cast of character actors are game for the script’s insanity.
As child kidnapping/trafficking thrillers go — and yes, there have been scores of these — No Exit barely stands out from the pack and overreaches at times. But it puts us in somebody’s snow-caked shoes and dares us to reason or fight our way out of this with her, which is all you can ask.
Director Damien Power occasionally tilts the movie into horror territory, with some particularly grisly violence that might shock viewers who think they know where it’s going.
No Exit drops an arsenal of twists and rug-pulls at a machine gun’s pace, though Power, the director, doesn’t quite know how to milk the tension, and the perfunctory script (written by Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari) tries and fails to give the events a greater resonance.
It’s an airport novel that’s now an airplane movie.
Uma surpresa de 2022, "Sem saída" (na tradução brasileira) é muito subestimado, tem uma boa condução, um bom ritmo, atores que dão conta do recado, algumas surpresas, e um bom uso do espaço cênico para tocar o suspense.
É o time de filme que não inventa a roda, mas pelo fato de manter a apreensão já vale. inclusive o achei melhor do que "noites brutais", pois consegue manter-se claustrofóbico até o final. Seguindo a protagonista Derby (Havana Rose Liu), que acabara de escapar de um centro de reabilitação para ir ver a mãe doente, que fica presa num centro devido à tempestade de neve, ela acaba se envolvendo com outras pessoas e, a partir daí, o roteiro apresenta uma situação de perigo onde todos os demais passam a ser suspeitos.
Bem interessante como há reviravoltas que podem até ser fáceis de serem descobertas, mas não soaram forçadas a ponto de comprometer a verossimilhança, ao contrário, foram plausíveis aqui. e como já falado sobre o espaço cênico, embora sem nenhum toque de ousadia, transpareceu a agonia mesmo em suas limitações.
O mais divertido é ver as saídas encontradas pelos personagens, que parecem estar encurralados mas sempre conseguem enxergar vias de escape. inclusive o filme poderia manter a tensão em certos momentos, mas prefere ser um pouco mais ágil. Outro fator positivo é ver que o filme não poupa ninguém, todos são vulneráveis e acontecem repentinas mortes, mesmo com alguns momentos deus ex-machina.
No geral, o filme agrada. Recorre a certos clichês, mas tem um produto final adequado ao que se propõe.

There is a scene where someone sniffs cocaine and becomes powered up like Super Mario when he takes a Mushroom.
It's a pretty enjoyable suspenseful thriller with dumb writing.
Report
A subpar film in almost every way. The fact that is a made-for-tv movie can't excuse its cheap look; 'Kimi' and even 'Fresh' — also from Hulu — prove that you can make something interesting with little money and by not trying to be too serious.
In this thriller — if you can call it like that because I found no sense of real mystery anywhere — a young woman escapes the rehab center where she's at so she can go and see his mother, who's very ill. Shortly, a blizzard strands her in a rest area, where at least one of the visitors is hiding something.
Mediocre acting, forgettable characters, awful dialogue — you know something's off when there's a gunshot and a character says that "there's only one thing in the world that sounds like a gunshot" — and the most generic story makes 'No Exit' a very bland experience. Not even its 90s vibe and the gore — a pool of blood kills someone! — can save it.
